Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 283: A Promise from the Past
Yun Qinglan could tell that this was the little girl’s favorite toy to play with, and he couldn’t take it.
Five-year-old Su Muyao seriously stuffed it into Yun Qinglan’s hand, "For brother, wear it, this can protect brother."
"Reciprocity, I’ve taken brother’s gift, so I also give brother a gift."
Back then, she was extremely serious.
Yun Qinglan was amused and showed a gentle smile on his face, "Alright, brother will wear it."
Su Muyao helped him put it on his waist, where the Jade Pendant usually hung.
"That’s better, brother must always wear it."
Yun Qinglan smiled warmly, "Alright."
The maid was waiting by the side, and when she saw the young master smile, she was shocked, her eyes widened.
The young master actually smiled.
This Miss Su is indeed impressive, being able to make the young master smile.
You should know, they had been working in the mansion since the young master was very young and had never seen him smile.
Even as a child, he always had an indifferent demeanor, didn’t smile, and showed interest in nothing.
Most of the time, he was alone and rarely spoke.
Sometimes he wouldn’t say a single word the whole day.
But just now, he said a lot to Miss Su.
This Miss Su is indeed amazing, but given her beauty, intelligence, and sensibility, anyone would naturally like her.
Even she found Miss Su adorable and likable.
So there they were, the ten-year-old Yun Qinglan and five-year-old Su Muyao, chatting away.
Yun Qinglan always maintained a warm smile on his face.
Upon learning that the little girl wanted to stroll around the yard, Yun Qinglan got up from his chair and, personally holding her hand, led her for a walk.
The maid was startled and exclaimed, "Young master, your health..."
Yun Qinglan gently waved his hand, suppressing a cough, "It’s alright, you can step back now."
"Yes."
After the maid retreated, Yun Qinglan accompanied the little girl on her walk and played with her.
Along the way, he explained many things to the little girl.
Five-year-old Su Muyao felt that this handsome brother knew a lot, and she listened attentively, asking questions whenever there was something she didn’t understand.
No matter how many questions she curiously asked, he patiently answered them.
This time, Su Zhihong had business to attend to in the Northern Territory, so he left Su Muyao at the Yun Family.
Every day, Yun Qinglan played with Su Muyao, personally taking care of her.
The ten-year-old boy took meticulous care of the five-year-old girl, and to prevent her from getting bored, he even personally painted and made kites for her to play with.
Su Muyao was in the yard flying a kite, giggling with delight.
But because she ran too fast, she accidentally fell, which frightened Yun Qinglan terribly.
Yun Qinglan hurried over, hugged her tightly, checked her carefully, and asked nervously, "Are you hurt anywhere? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"
Su Muyao hugged Yun Qinglan’s neck, her voice sweet and crisp, "Brother Yun, I’m fine."
At that moment, Yun Qinglan was holding Su Muyao, deeply worried.
He gently reached out to clean the dirt off her clothes and tidied her hair.
"Your hair is a bit crooked today. Tomorrow, brother will tie it better for you."
These days, Yun Qinglan had been taking care of Su Muyao, so he was also the one tying her hair.
Yun Qinglan was clumsily learning to care for a little sister.
Ever since Yun Qinglan’s parents passed away, he always had a distant manner, seemingly uninterested in anything, and didn’t care about his own health.
But now, with such an adorable little sister, he was willing to eat well, rest well, and just wanted to have a healthy body to take good care of the little sister.
Mr. Yun was watching this scene from a distance, his eyes reddened.
"Family Head, the young master looks like a normal person now."
Mr. Yun said joyfully, "When he plays with little Su, just watch from the side and don’t disturb them."
"Yes, Family Head." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"Alas, if his parents were still here, maybe they’d have given him a little brother or sister, and he wouldn’t have been so indifferent."
"Su Zhihong has taught his daughter well indeed."
This little girl is quite mischievous, no wonder Yun Qinglan likes her.
After being busy in the Northern Territory for over a month, Su Zhihong returned, intending to take Su Muyao away.
Yun Qinglan didn’t want Su Muyao to leave; he wished to keep her here.
Because of this, Yun Qinglan couldn’t eat or sleep well, appearing the next day with dark circles under his eyes.
Su Muyao was also reluctant, but no matter how much she didn’t want to, she had to leave with her father.
However, when she saw Brother Yun’s exhausted appearance, she asked, "Brother Yun, didn’t you rest well?"
Yun Qinglan softly replied, "It’s nothing. Will Yaoyao still visit brother when you have time in the future?"
Su Muyao nodded, "Of course, I want to be with Brother Yun all the time."
Yun Qinglan looked at her with a slight amusement, "Do you know what it means to be together all the time?"
Five-year-old Su Muyao earnestly replied, "I know. When I grow up, I can marry Brother Yun."
Hearing this, Yun Qinglan was taken aback. At ten, he understood the meaning of these words, but seeing Su Muyao, a five-year-old girl probably didn’t know what she was saying.
"Alright, then Brother Yun will wait for you to grow up. You must grow up quickly."
Su Muyao nodded, "Then Brother Yun, you must eat well, rest well, and take good care of yourself."
"Alright, Brother Yun promises you."
This was their promise to each other in their younger days.
But later, because the Evil Thought Soul occupied her body, she forgot many of her childhood memories.
...
Su Muyao looked at this fragment of past memories, feeling a bit nostalgic and sentimental. Suddenly, she seemed to hear the sound of the bell ball, the crisp sound of the Bell ringing.
Amidst a shimmering mist, Su Muyao walked forward, following the sound of the Bell. After crossing a bridge, the mist cleared, revealing another scene.
It was from the perspective of the ten-year-old Yun Qinglan.
In the winter when it snowed, he had someone push his chair to the pond’s edge.
"Ever since Miss Su left, young master likes to stay by the pond."
"Young master is probably thinking about Miss Su."
Later, the servants were sent away by others, and Yun Qinglan was directly pushed into the pond.
The pond hadn’t frozen over yet, but it was exceptionally cold. Yun Qinglan was already in poor health and couldn’t swim. He was submerged in the water in no time.
Seeing this, Su Muyao cried out in alarm, shouting frantically, but it was useless. She was in a dream, seemingly in Yun Qinglan’s dream, able only to watch, unable to intervene in any past events.
She didn’t know how long it took, but the Bell Spiritual Artifact she had given Yun Qinglan emitted a glow, protecting him and lifting him to the surface.
Eventually, Yun Qinglan was saved, but due to the cold invading his body, he was sick with a fever for a long time.
Upon waking, he forgot some things, and he forgot her.
Because he was schemed against this time, Mr. Yun purged many servants from the Yun Mansion and replaced them with a group of loyal ones.
Thus, Yun Qinglan didn’t remember her anymore.
...
When daylight came, Su Muyao awoke from the dream, her expression a bit dazed.
She had actually said such things to Yun Qinglan when she was five.
Fortunately, he had already forgotten.
She hadn’t expected, as adults after going through so much, that he would develop feelings for her.
At that time, even though she stayed at the Yun Mansion for over a month, he genuinely treated her well.
So, after remembering everything, she couldn’t calm her inner emotions.
After getting up, washing, and preparing to have breakfast, Su Muyao didn’t see Yun Qinglan or Shen Ci’an.
"Where are they?"
"Young Master Yun hasn’t woken up yet. Shen Ci’an fainted last night after using the Soul Searching Technique to investigate the Level 12 Superpower User’s memory, and who knows when he’ll wake up."
